Yes, John Tappan was the older brother of Arthur, Lewis, and Benjamin. There were 12 children born to Benjamin and Sarah. 2013-03-16 13:52:40ZNancy21622http://boards.ancestry.com/surnames.tappan/1.5.1/mb.ashxRe: H.W.Tappan Esqr. Ravenna, Ohiohttp://boards.ancestry.com/surnames.tappan/4.13.15.1/mb.ashx
I believe the first initial is wrong. John Tappan (older brother of Lewis, Arthur, and Benjamin) supported many institutions in Ravenna. He sent his son, Francis Wilder Tappan ,Esq. to Ravenna to conduct legal work. Another son, Josiah, also went to Ravenna. They married DePeyster sisters. Francis returned to Massachusetts where he became a justice of the 3rd District Court of Bristol County in Massachusetts 2013-03-16 05:20:16ZNancy21622http://boards.ancestry.com/surnames.tappan/4.13.15.1/mb.ashxRe: H.W.Tappan Esqr.

I've got a whole box of letters, many of which are from or to Samuel Tappan and various wives, nieces, cousins, colleagues, etc. I have not yet had time to scan or review them - or decipher them, really, as the handwriting is gorgeous and illegible to my untrained modern eye. <br><br>There is also a dated (1917) but unsigned, thankfully typed letter that is clearly one relative answering genealogy questions, and the Van Allens figure prominently. <br><br>I'm related through my maternal grandmother &amp; am missing some steps - she was Ervanna Cummings. Her parents were Ervin Witt Cummings and Edna (sometimes Ednah) Outwater Handy. Edna's parents were Outwater Handy and Alice Henion or Henyon. Then, I've got a gap until Samuel Tappan. <br><br>I'll share more as soon as I find it out. I need to get it all to my house (from my mom's) and scan it.

Arthur Tappan (May 22, 1786 – July 23, 1865) was an American abolitionist. He was the brother of Senator Benjamin Tappan and abolitionist Lewis Tappan.<br>Biography<br><br>Born in Northampton, Massachusetts to a devoutly Calvnist family, he moved to Boston at the age of 15. In 1807 he established a dry goods business in Portland, Maine. Arthur and his brother, Lewis, established a silk importing business in New York in 1826. In 1827, Arthur, Lewis and Samuel F.B. Morse founded the New York Journal of Commerce.<br><br>Arthur and Lewis Tappan were successful businessmen, but commerce was never their foremost interest. They viewed making money as less important than saving souls, which is one reason they helped found The Journal of Commerce as a publication free of “immoral advertisements.”<br><br>The Panic of 1837 forced the Tappans to close their silk-importing business, and almost scuttled The Journal of Commerce, but the brothers persevered. In the 1840s they founded another lucrative business enterprise when they opened the first commercial credit-rating service, the The Mercantile Agency, a predecessor of Dun and Bradstreet.<br><br>The Tappan brothers made their mark in commerce and in abolitionism. Throughout their careers, the Tappans devoted time and money to philanthropic causes as diverse as temperance, the abolition of slavery and the establishment of theological seminaries and educational institutions such as Oberlin and Kenyon colleges in Ohio. Their beliefs about the Sabbath extended to campaigns against stagecoach service and mail deliveries on Sundays.<br><br>In the early 1830s, while a principal owner of The Journal of Commerce, Arthur Tappan allied himself with William Lloyd Garrison and co-founded the American Anti-Slavery Society. Arthur served as its first president until 1840, when he resigned based on his opposition to the society's new found support of women's suffrage and feminism. Continuing his support for abolition, Arthur and his brother founded the American and Foreign Anti-Slavery Society in 1840, and the American Missionary Society in 1846. After the Fugitive Slave Law of 1850 was passed, he refused to comply with the new law, and financially supported the Underground Railroad. Their positions on the slavery issue weren’t universally popular. On July 4, 1834, Lewis Tappan’s New York home was sacked and his family’s furniture was burned in the street.<br><br>The Tappans, and The Journal of Commerce, attracted bitter criticism for their campaign to free Africans who had taken over the slave ship Amistad. James Gordon Bennett, Sr.’s rival New York Morning Herald denounced “the humbug doctrines of the abolitionists and the miserable fanatics who propagate them,” particularly Lewis Tappan and The Journal of Commerce.<br><br>Arthur Tappan died in 1865, Lewis in 1873. Both men lived long enough to see the Emancipation Proclamation fulfill much of their lives’ work.<br><br>From: Answers.com &amp; wikimedia.com<br><br>My grandfather is Arthur Tappan from Michigan City Indiana area, He was divorced from Vera after one child, my mother. I can't find the marriage or divorce, or obituary? Like he should have died in 1935 to 45. My mother thinks he decended from those people, too.

I have collected a lot of info on the Tappans. I note that your queries were in 2000 and 2002, so you may not still be searching for info. Benjamin was born in Benjamin Tappan, 1829 NY and moved with his parents and siblings to Michigan. When grown, most of the sons continued to move west. A family letter gives the list of children with the following notation: died in 1926 Broken Bow, Nebraska or New Lincoln, Nebraska. I have not yet verified that record , but do have a lot of family data. One of Benjamin's older brothers, Allan Tappan was my grgrgrand. I have found a variety of spellings for the family surname within the records, plus it appears that family members might also have taken different spellings as some are listed as Tappan and some as Tappen on their grave stones. Benjamin's son Ward lived with my great grand mother in the 1880 NE census, then moved to VA. He is listed with his wife in the 1885 NE Farmers Census. He is a widower with 2 sons in 1900. He remarried by 1920 census. Wards sons were Luttie and Chester. <br> <br>If you would like to have some more data on Benjamin , his parents , or siblings, you can contact me. Or, if you have some data you can share with me, that would be grand. <br><br>A.

Grandpa Charles and Grandma Nellie were married in Delta, Ohio on Jul 28, 1901. They had 9 children. Grandpa Charles was not adopted by Milton but rather, just lived with Milton as his mother lucinda could not care for him alone back in 1880. Jennie's last name was Homan. 2009-09-15 18:08:51Zinvispcehttp://boards.ancestry.com/surnames.tappan/73.2/mb.ashxPhoto of Samuel Tappan and Catherine Dyke Tappan circ. 1870http://boards.ancestry.com/surnames.tappan/65/mb.ashx

I am looking for confirmation on my g.grandmother's maiden name. Her name was Loretta "Anna" (Either Blanche or Tappan) Babcock b. July 1877 NY d.June, 1932, Syracuse, NY. She is buried next to Henry Tappan (1859-1918) and Ella or Etta Tappan (1860-1923) and 2 children Raymond and Frances Babcock (I believe are Anna's children). My aunt provided information in my grandfather's obit that Anna's maiden name was Blanche, but I'm not no sure. Anna's husband Warren Lewis Babcock (1877-1965) and Henry Tappan bought these cemetery plots in Morningside Cemetery in Syracuse, NY together in 1915. I have a copy of the deed. Why would you buy a cemetery plot with anyone other than family? A lot of family information from my aunt has been proven wrong. Does anyone have any information on Henry Tappan or Ella or Etta Tappan and who their parents were? Any information would be greatly appreciated.<br>Cheryl Babcock Wilson2010-03-05 20:54:31Zmeltonc17http://boards.ancestry.com/surnames.tappan/83/mb.ashxEphraim Tappan and his wife Susan of Attleborough, Masshttp://boards.ancestry.com/surnames.tappan/63/mb.ashx
Am seeking information on the parents and ancestry of Ephraim Tappan and his wife Susan (Clark?) of Attleborough, Mass. Both were born in the 1830s (Ephraim possibly in 1835, Susan possibly in 1837) and died in the 1910s (Ephraim possibly around 1914, his wife possibly around 1912). They had three children: Ella, William, and Charles. William and Charles were very successful jewelers, and there was a controversy in recent years in Attleborough about the possible demolition of Charles Tappan's home. Ephraim and his offspring may have been descendants from the Newbury Tappans, but I really have no idea. Any help anyone might be able to provide would be appreciated.2006-03-22 09:10:16Zkenehempelhttp://boards.ancestry.com/surnames.tappan/63/mb.ashxEphraim Tappan possibly son of Abrahamhttp://boards.ancestry.com/surnames.tappan/63.1/mb.ashx
A bit more about Ephraim: his name appears in the 1860 Attleborough census, but not in the 1850 census for the town. In fact there are no Tappans in the 1850 census, suggesting he moved there sometime in the 1850s. There is also an Abraham Tappan in the 1860 census, who could conceivably be his father (although I really have no idea).2006-03-22 09:10:16Zkenehempelhttp://boards.ancestry.com/surnames.tappan/63.1/mb.ashxAbraham Tappan and Susan Stockmanhttp://boards.ancestry.com/surnames.tappan/64/mb.ashx

Hello, I have a lengthy handwritten journal by Samuel Tappan, perhaps the same one, who was a Captain in the 23rd Infantry during the War of 1812. The birthdate--1784, I believe--would have made him 38 at the outbreak of war but 86 at the time of the photograph. I also believe that his wife may have had the maiden name Ostrander. Could this possibly be the same person or might it be a son? Any hints would be appreciated.<br>Mark<br>McCall, Idaho2010-04-07 22:03:03Zmarkzimmer125http://boards.ancestry.com/surnames.tappan/65.1/mb.ashxMarriage of TAPPAN / FORTNEYhttp://boards.ancestry.com/surnames.tappan/73/mb.ashx

I am looking for information on the Henry and Malvina Allard Tappan family of Macoupin Co., IL. I am especially interested ininformation on Malvina Allard, b. 1839 in RI. She and Henry were married 1Apr 1856 in Macoupin County, IL, and had at least six children: Edward, Henry, Wallis, Alice, Frank, and Warren. I believe Malvina's mother was Almira Allard, and her father was possibly Lyman Allard, who died before 1850. I last found Malvina in the 1900 census, living with both her son Frank's family and her daughter Alice's family. It's possible that Malvina had three sisters, Ellen b. 1823 in RI, Lucinda b. 1836 in RI and Mary Emma b. 1843 in IL. <br>Any information on Malvina Allard would be appreciated.<br>Karen Bellmer<br><a href="mailto://bellmergenealogy@gmail.com">bellmergenealogy@gmail.com</a>2007-02-22 03:25:54Zkbellmer1http://boards.ancestry.com/surnames.tappan/68/mb.ashxRe: Harmon Van allen Tappanhttp://boards.ancestry.com/surnames.tappan/59.1.1/mb.ashx
